Here is a quick list of tools that can capture and monitor http traffic between your browser and server. yeah, I know wireshark exists. it is just that I still do not know how to use it!
- tcpflow - works at card level. Much better if you can script things on your own box.
- Fiddler - Nice tool but Windows only (who is going to download mono to install a http capture tool on linux box?)
- httpry - Not tried yet, on the list though!
- TCPCatcher - Would need Java. Downloadable as a stanadlone jar.
- Charles Proxy - commercial (50$) but people have lot of praise for the tool.
- WebScarab - Our security team was using it. Ugly as hell but does the job.
